Always With Me

I step out into the mistful night..
Beauty I stand upon, bathed in moonlight..
Glowing eye painted above my head..
How many of thy tears have thou watched me shed?

Beguiled by your vision, I am frozen in awe..
Follow me where I tread, standing so tall..
So many years we have timelessly spent..
Sorrow and laughter, so perfectly blent..

I long to seize time, and carry you in my woe..
I long to keep your lucidity secretly low..
How selfish would I then be, to shelter your resplendent embrace?
To shadow the very touch that caresses my face?

Therefore, I only dream that you place is here with me..
Where we stray the dreary lanes together, at least of what is free..

Cover me in your orbed spirit of enduring love..
Grasp my hand in death, as my soul shall rise above..
Drape me in your tinted, luminous tune..
Rest inside my earthly passion, Oh solemn, watchful Moon..
